Literature Review
2.1. CRM (Customer Management)
Relationship
CRM is a company strategy to satisfy the customers so as not turnout to competitors (Gaffar, Vanessa., 2007). The company gives a personal customer care by treating the customer as king. CRM is a tirelessly effort for the company to always be customer-oriented or customer-centric (Buttle, Francis., 2007). CRM manage detailed information about individual customers and the customers’ "contact points" to maximize customer loyalty. The customers’ contact points are those points of contact at which businesses interact directly with their customers. CRM enables companies provide real-time customer service perfectly through the use of effective personal account information (Kotler, Philip and Keller, Kevin Lane., 2009) Relationships between IT and CRM is CRM unites the IT potential and relationship marketing strategies to deliver long-term profitability. Importantly, CRM use the data and information to improve opportunity level to understand and implement customer relationship marketing strategies better. This process require cross-functional integration of people, operations, processes and
marketing capabilities that is enabled through information, technology and applications (Payne, Adrian., 2005). The emergence of CRM as a management approach is a consequence of a number of important trends. These include (Payne, Adrian., 2005): a. Shift in business focus from transactional marketing to relationship marketing. b. The realization that the customer is a business asset and not just a commercial audience. c. Structuring the organization strategic transformation from function to process. d. Recognition to the benefits of using the information in a proactive rather than merely reactive e. Greater use of technology in managing and maximizing the value of information f. Acceptance of the need for a trade-off between giving and extracting customer value g. The development of one-to-one marketing approach 2.2. Customer Satisfaction For customers satisfaction, company needs to understand what is important to them and try to at least meet their basic expectations. Achieving the highest level of customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal of marketing. When customers are satisfied with the services and the goods, mostly customer will be back again for another purchase and would recommend to friends and family about the company and its products (Barnes, JG , 2003). Customer satisfaction is the response in the form of feelings of satisfaction arising from the experience of consuming a product or service, or a small part of the experience (Buttle, Francis., 2007). Customer satisfaction is a person's feelings of pleasure or disappointment arising from comparing the perceived performance of the product (or outcome) with their expectations. If performance fails to meet expectations, the customer is not satisfied. If performance is in accordance with expectations, the customer will be satisfied. If performance exceeds expectations, the customer will be very satisfied and happy. Assessment of the
customer's product performance depends on many factors, especially the type of relationship that customers have loyalty to a brand (Kotler, Philip and Keller, Kevin Lane., 2009) Factors affecting the level of customer satisfaction (Barnes, JG, 2003) : Product or service core; system and support services; technical Performance; elements of interaction with customers; and emotionalaffective dimension elements of service. To archieve customer sastifaction, CRM must be run, because with CRM the system can improve the performance of the company's business by increasing customer satisfaction and in turn foster brand loyalty. 2.3. Web Database Application An application is a program or a group of programs designed for use by an end user. If the end user interacts with the application via a Web browser, the application is a Web based or Web application, and if the Web application requires the long-term storage of information using a database, it is a Web database application (Thompson, 2008). The database is the long-term memory of your web database application. The application can’t fulfill its purpose without the database. However, the database alone is not enough.And the application piece is the program or group of programs that performs the tasks. Programs create the display that the user sees in the browser window; they make your application interactive by accepting and processing information that the user types in the browser window; and they store information in the database and get information out of the database. (The database is useless unless you can move data in and out.)

Problems Analysis
The analysis is done by conducting surveys and analyzing the current system to obtain information or data from the system. After that, we do requirements elicitation by conducting interviews with Titipan Kilat. Also we conducted a comparative analysis to support design process, with features provided by competing companies to its customers. All analyzes were performed to identify the problem in terms of customer service at Titipan Kilat. There are three founding consist of : 1. Customers have difficulty in obtaining a delivery status information. 2.

Information System Design Information System developes by using PHP, jQuery, and MySQL as database. This is because the system will be used by more than one person (Multi User), and MySQL is Open Source. Designing CRM WEB application development will be covered by using UML diagrams. UML diagrams that will be used are Use Case Diagram, Class Diagram, Statechart Diagram, Activity Diagram, Sequence Diagram, Collaboration Diagram, Component Diagram, Deployment Diagram and Package Diagram. For this paper are only shown two diagrams Use Case Diagram and Class diagram. 6.1.
